Goal #5: PGP Encryption
Here's a link to Pine's PGP encryption tutorial. This is how a lot of people learn to encrypt.

In terms of personal protection, from what I've read the easiest (and safest) thing to do is load a linux distro like Libirte to a USB drive and boot from that whilst keeping your PGP keys on a separate and very safe drive. People say to encrypt the drive containing keys and such as well, but I suppose that depends on how far you want to go with it.
On another note with the boot drive, I know that libirte comes with tor pre-configured and is fairly secure.

It seems the link is broken?

I agree that this section needs more stickies.

There used to be a lot more stickies in each of the subforums. In fact, at one time, a majority of the threads on the first page of Security and Off Topic were stickies, but almost all of them were removed under a new policy that only threads created by mods/admins can be stickied -- except for a few in Shipping, I guess.

That's a shame, the mods have a lot on their hands, but I can see how it would pose a security risk. maybe locked stickies would work? Once a mod has reviewed the thread it would be locked.
